Singapore Breakfast Tea from TWG Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend88 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 12th, 2025
Contrary to the established custom of a "breakfast tea", this isn't just a blend of black teas, or black tea with a mild flavoring. Instead, Singapore Breakfast mixes green tea, black tea, vanilla, and unspecified "rare spices". Given the fruitiness of both the aroma and flavor, and the known pieces in the mix, I sus...

Maple Toffee from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 9th, 2024
For a thoroughly delicious tea blend, this offering is something of a mystery. Within a couple months after I ordered it last year, Maple Toffee disappeared from the Murchie's website, and hasn't returned in over a year. It's either seasonal, sold out or discontinued. I don't know which, but sadly, am starting to su...

Toasted Coconut Almond Bark Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 18th, 2023
For a few years, Tazo and Bigelow, in particular, have gone on a bender of producing explicitly dessert-flavored blends, which doesn't bother me, even as it might annoy some tea purists. Hey, who doesn't like some yummy sweet treats after a good dinner? However, Bigelow may have overplayed its hand here and missed th...

Wedding Blend from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 12th, 2022
Reviewing the loose version here, but I've got a 10-bag sampler pack too, and don't notice any appreciable difference between them in terms of aroma or flavor. This is another among numerous green-black tea blends Murchie's makes (in this case also with roses, cornflowers and jasmine). They largely have mastered wha...

Dec. 1st, 2021
Here's the third offering reviewed here, and the second-best to me, from a 4-pack sample of the various seasonal holiday teas Murchie's produces. As with the others, they are flavored loose blends, in this case composed of black tea, jasmine green, calendula flowers, elder flowers, and unspecified "natural and artifi...

Evergreen from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 21st, 2021
Evergreen is a unique tea, to say the least. That usually means it's going to be a major turn-off, a surprising crowd-pleaser, or just weird. How about, "pleasantly weird"?
Like Shania's boyfriends in her pop-country song, the first couple cups had me thinking, "That don't impress me much!" Unlike them with her, ...
Paris from Harney and Sons
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 15th, 2021
Harney's Paris blend is an interesting and likeable variation on the Earl Grey formula. In addition to bergamot, this has vanilla, black currant, and caramel flavors added to black and oolong teas. It makes for a sweet and festive tea that goes well with milk and sugar.

Aroma: This really does give you the sense of a very nicely roasted coffee; however, there is a malty black tea note behind it 8/10

Half-litre pot at home, made from an enchanting blend of green honeybush and rooibos leaves as well as pieces of apple, liquorice root, kiwi, strawberries, elderflower and rose petals - it is hard to fathom how all of this can fit into a meaningful combination, but it certainly does emit a lovely scent. Pours clear rob...

Dec. 27th, 2019
The scent of this was delicious. The scent of the tea after brewing was delicious. But, there wasn't much to the flavor. At the end of the cup, after the tea had cooled, the notes sat on my palette better. But, something about the notes bypassed my palette when the tea was hot. This might be good as an iced tea. But, a...

Earl Grey Lavender from Revolution Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 27th, 2019
Here's the first tea I've tried from a Revolution variety pack, and it was a pleasant surprise! The ingredients list looked promising, with a blend of Ceylon, Darjeeling and "Foromosa" (presumably Formosa, misspelled) oolong, French lavender flowers, and bergamot oil.
It was impossible not to compare this to anothe...
Paris from Harney and Sons
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend68 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 1st, 2019
Aside from the blackcurrant, the flavoring in this is rather subtle. The tea base is moderately rich and has a darkness in color as well as taste. It is almost a bit too tart but that's where the faint vanilla and caramel rescue it to give it some sweetness.
It's a good example of blending done well with flavoring...
